Remote control and Robotization in Armed Forces

The results obtained by research and technology concerning the technical solutions for Defense needs have gradually allowed to replace direct human intervention with mechanical systems, computerized, cybernetic .

In this context, the remote control and “robotization”, over the last decade , reached really important application targets allowing the provision, in different sectors, and the realization of systems suitable to renovate the operating procedures, particularly in the light of a reduction of risk to own personal.

The more we will be able to proceed with development of systems able to replace a human presence in situations of risk, the more loss of life will be reduced.

In addition, the use of cybernetic control and management equipment may lead to a strong increase of the operational capacity of multiple weapon systems.

A Conference has been organized by the Studies Centre for Defense & Security (CESDIS) at the Centre of High Studies for Defense (CASD) in Rome.

The conference aimed to inform the participants on the current level of presence of robotic and remotely controlled systems at the Italian Armed Forces in the Land, Air and Naval contest, and prospects, in the short and medium term, the introduction of new systems.
